Old-World Fruitcake

Description

Okay, we know. Fruitcake doesn’t have the best reputation. But we’re on a mission to restore fruitcake’s honor with this remarkable treat. We started with loads of real fruit – raisins, dried apricots, cherries, cranberries, pineapple and figs – and candied citrus peel and soaked them for a good long time in good rum. After it was good and drunk, we combined it with lots of real butter, eggs, molasses, and pecans, and baked it to perfection. Then we doused our fruitcakes with more rum, swaddled them in cheesecloth, wrapped them in parchment paper, and plastic to seal in all that deliciousness, aged them to perfection, and bundled them up bright red cloth bags and festooned them ribbon, creating a gift-worthy gourmet treat. We’ve only got a limited quantity available, and when they’re gone, they’re gone! Order soon, they’re going fast.
